Santa Cruz de La Palma

Our last day on La Palma was spent in Santa Cruz, the capital. It was a rainy day and so we spent some time hiding in cafes while sorting out photos, but the sun showed itself from time to time.

There are many colourful and interesting buildings. Along the sea front, one can see a line of houses with balconies (and many people taking photos)

A little further along is the remains of St Catherine's castle, part of an old defensive structure.

These are the buildings around and including the cathedral of Santa Domingo de La Palmal. We managed to visit it just as it was closing..

but John managed to take a couple of photos before we had to leave, including the ceiling on the left.

 

 

In the evening we tried several places to eat and ended up in a small bar where we had a tapas like meal. Fortunately, we had decided to stay inside and had settled at on of the few tables, because it wasn't long before the rain started again and those outside were moving in.

We have now arrived on Tenerife where we will stay for 7 days.
